2024 Buick Envision Review and Specs

Although luxury shoppers aren't particularly interested in Buick, the 2024 Envision is a small SUV with amenities that are comparable to those of competitors in Europe. Based on the same platform as luxury compact SUVs like the Mercedes-Benz GLC-class, BMW X3, and Audi Q5, the Envision has a 228-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The Buick's interior is also cozy and incredibly quiet. Even in its priciest Avenir trim, it doesn't seem as posh as the competition, despite having all the right components installed. The Envision's performance on the road is also lacking. For those who value solitude and isolation above all else, this car offers a comfortable ride but forgettable handling. The Buick's affordable pricing is its main selling feature. You could get a fully equipped Envision for the price of a base-model Audi, BMW, or Mercedes-Benz.

What Is 2024 Bringing?

For 2024, the Envision gets a makeover on the outside and inside to bring it into line with the crossovers Encore GX and Envista. The Envision has a new look thanks to slim LED lighting components, a redesigned grille, and Buick's new tri-shield emblem. The infotainment screen and digital gauge display on the inside are identical to those located on the dash of the recently updated Encore GX. This year, the Envision will offer GM's Super Cruise technology as an option for hands-free driving.

Cost and Selection of Items for Purchase

The 2024 Buick Envision ranges in price from $37,295 to $48,395 according on the model and extras.

Performance, Engine, and Transmission

Under the hood of the Envision, Buick provides just one engine. It is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged with 228 horsepower. It comes with front-wheel drive as standard and is matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission. However, all-wheel drive is an option available to buyers on all three of the SUV's grade levels. Even while the Envision seems lively when driving about town, it never manages to feel very fast, especially in comparison to more expensive vehicles like the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. The Buick managed an unimpressive 7.3-second 60-mph run at our test track, but most drivers will find its subjective performance on the road to be more than satisfactory. While redesigning the Envision, Buick should have added more agility, but instead, the suspension is tuned for maximum ride comfort.

Cargo, Comfort, and Interior

The Envision's interior design is fairly stylish, and out of the three trim levels, the Avenir is the most competitive with vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz GLC-class, X3, and Q5. The Avenir adds amenities like heated and ventilated front seats, a massaging driver's seat, and quilted leather upholstery, while the Preferred and Essence versions have a plethora of standard equipment. The new Envision has a bit less cargo room than the previous generation due to its somewhat shorter length, but it still has a cabin with roughly the same amount of passenger space as the previous model. With the back seat folded flat, the previous model could accommodate up to 26 carry-on bags; the updated model could only fit 21.

Connectivity and Entertainment

Although Buick hasn't verified, leaked images of the 2024 Envision show a new digital dashboard. We can make out what appears to be a 30-inch OLED panel, similar to the one seen in Buick's Electra E5 SUV, which is expected to go on sale in 2025. Nevertheless, this might not be a required feature. However, we anticipate that all versions will come equipped with wireless support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In addition, a six-speaker audio, an active noise-canceling system, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a Wi-Fi hotspot are probably going to come standard on Buick vehicles.

Features for Safety and Driver Assistance

A plethora of standard and optional sophisticated driver-assistance systems, such as GM's Super Cruise hands-free driving system, are available with Buick.

• Typical automatic emergency braking that detects pedestrians
• Normal lane-departure alert with assistance for lane-keeping
• A hands-free driving mode and adaptive cruise control are available.

Coverage for Maintenance and Warranty

The basic warranty package offered by Buick is comparable to that of many of its competitors, but the ute's one gratis service visit is significantly less than that of the BMW X3 and the Jaguar F-Pace, which both have far longer terms for free planned maintenance.

• A limited warranty is valid for 36 months or 36,000 miles.
• A powertrain warranty is valid for 60,000 miles or five years.
• For the initial visit, complimentary planned maintenance is provided.
